The Root Method™

A structured, root-cause framework to rebalance your digestion, energy, and hormones.

If you’ve been dealing with:

• Bloating that doesn’t make sense
• Inconsistent digestion (constipation, diarrhea, or both)
• Low energy or brain fog
• Hormonal symptoms like acne or PMS
• Feeling like your body just isn’t responding the way it used to

you’ve likely already tried changing your diet, adding supplements, and doing all the “right” things.

But your symptoms keep coming back, shifting, or never fully resolving.

It’s not because you’re doing something wrong.
It’s because most approaches focus on managing symptoms… not understanding what’s actually driving them.

Your symptoms are signals ➝ pointing to deeper imbalances in your digestion, gut microbiome, nutrient status, metabolism, and stress response.

That’s where a root-cause approach comes in.

The Root Method™ is a structured, personalized framework designed to uncover what’s actually going on in your body—using functional lab testing, targeted nutrition, strategic supplementation, and sustainable lifestyle shifts.

So that you can stop guessing, start getting answers, and finally feel like yourself again.

This program is for you if:

You’ve had labs run, tried diets and supplements… but still don’t have real answers
You don’t fully understand why you’re feeling this way… and it’s starting to feel frustrating
Your symptoms keep coming back, shifting, or never fully resolving
You’re ready for a clear, structured plan instead of guessing
You’d like assistance in navigating the medical system and holistic world.

This is where we uncover what’s actually going on.

R — Reveal the Root Cause

We take a deeper look at what’s actually driving your symptoms.

Instead of guessing, we assess digestion, gut health, metabolism, and stress through a combination of functional lab testing, symptom patterns, and health history.

This is where we connect the dots and uncover why you don’t feel like yourself.

O — Optimize Foundations

Before jumping into protocols, we strengthen the basics your body depends on.

This includes nutrition, blood sugar balance, digestion (stomach acid, enzymes, bile), movement, sleep, and nervous system support.

When your foundations are solid, your body can actually respond and heal.

O — Ongoing Personalization

We will create a personalized plan based on your lab results, health history, and goals, then put it into action.

As your body begins to respond, we will continuously adjust your plan—fine-tuning nutrition, supplements, and lifestyle to ensure it’s effective, realistic, and aligned with your needs.

This is where your protocol becomes truly individualized and sustainable.

T — Thrive

This is where you feel the difference: more energy, better digestion, clearer skin, and stable moods.

You understand your body, trust it, and feel confident in how to support your health long-term.

“I couldn’t eat without running to the bathroom or unbuttoning my pants.”

“I originally came to Shannon with diarrhea, bloating, and not being able to eat without running to the bathroom or having to unbutton my pants. Working with her has resolved these issues and has helped me to enjoy food again while learning how to fuel my body with what it needs to feel strong and healthy.”

Let's get started

Deeper data. Clearer answers. Personalized healing.

Inside The Root Method, you’ll have access to various types of functional lab testing. If you’ve been feeling stuck, functional lab testing can uncover what traditional labs often miss—things like hidden gut imbalances, hormone dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and detox issues that are silently impacting your energy, digestion, mood, skin, and cycles.

Available labs include:
🧪 GI-MAP (advanced gut health panel)
🧪 SIBO Breath Test
🧪 Organic Acids Test (OAT)
🧪 Minerals + Toxic Metals Analysis
🧪 DUTCH Hormone Test

And more based on your symptoms and goals.

All tests are done at home and reviewed with you in detail. You’ll get more than just a lab report. You’ll get real insight, interpretation, and guidance tailored to your body and lifestyle.
